Silicon Valley’s pro soccer team hopes to build more business through youth players and adult weekend-warriors — and they could be taking a page from the San Jose Sharks’ playbook.

San Jose City Council members on June 19 are scheduled to vote on awarding the contract to build a four-field, $14 million recreational soccer complex off Coleman Avenue, and whether to hire the San Jose Earthquakes to manage it. As part of their management deal, the Major League Soccer team would receive a $332,803 annual fee and earn up to $665,606 per year if they hit performance measures, according to a recent city staff report.

The bond-funded complex would be near the Quakes’ practice field and their planned $60 million stadium located across the street from Mineta San Jose International Airport. City staff expect construction to start soon on the recreational facility, and the Quakes hope to break ground this year on their professional stadium.

By running the city-owned complex, the Earthquakes can market their team to soccer fans and sell them Quakes tickets and merchandise. Moreover, they could turn the facility into a hub for recreational tournaments and events, bringing visitors — and their wallets — to San Jose.

Earthquakes President Dave Kaval said the soccer complex would be ideal for amateur tournaments, as there would be several fields and they could hold championship games next door in the Quakes’ 18,000-seat stadium. In addition, he said Quakes ticket-holders would see the complex on their way to games, raising more interest among soccer fans to use the facility.

He also said the club views the complex in “almost the identical way” to how the Sharks manage a city-owned recreational ice rink. At that facility, the National Hockey League team sells Sharks merchandise at the front of the pro shop, and has developed a large base of amateur hockey players and figure skaters who use the four-rink facility each week.

“We hope to duplicate their success,” Kaval said.

The skating complex, Sharks Ice at San Jose, drew more than 1.5 million visitors and participants last fiscal year and generated more than 7,000 hotel room nights, according to a memo from San Jose Arena Authority Executive Director Chris Morrisey, whose group helps oversee city-owned sports facilities.

The Sharks’ owners started managing the rink, located at the corner of South 10th Street and East Alma Avenue, in the late 1990s. Since then, two ice surfaces and a sports bar have been added to the facility.

Among other things, the facility hosts the largest adult hockey program in the U.S. with 11 divisions and 152 teams, as well as a youth “in-house” beginner program with 28 teams and 465 players, Morrisey said in his memo. Sharks Ice had an operating profit of about $295,000 on $10.6 million of revenue in the year ending June 30, 2011.

The Sharks also offer corporate packages at the rink for broomball, curling and other activities, and have hosted companies such as Apple Inc. and Google Inc., said Jim Sparaco, spokesman for Sharks Sports & Entertainment, the team’s parent company.

Meanwhile, a number of NHL teams have asked to see Sharks Ice to possibly generate ideas for facilities back home, said Malcolm Bordelon, executive vice president of business operations for the Sharks.

“They see the benefit to it,” Bordelon said.

According to city staff, the only bid to manage the soccer complex came from the Earthquakes. City officials are recommending the facility’s construction contract be awarded to South San Francisco’s Interstate Grading and Paving Inc., which was the lowest bidder at $11.9 million.
